Smarter testing with Roq’s Automation Enabler

ROQ'S AUTOMATION ENABLER

Our Automation Enabler is a ready-made toolkit and way of working that plugs into your delivery model. We bring proven, reusable components and wire them into your pipelines so you get dependable automation and faster feedback while keeping standards consistent across teams. You keep full ownership of the test assets and there are no ongoing licence fees.

Under the bonnet, we prioritise the right checks at the right layer. High-speed API tests catch most issues early. A lean set of end-to-end UI journeys proves your systems still play nicely together. Contract tests stop bad changes at the seams. Stable, synthetic or masked test data is seeded per run so results are repeatable and easy to diagnose.

WHAT DOES IT DELIVER?

If you work in technology or change, you care about predictability, cost and risk. Our enabler is designed to ease these pressures.

Benefits you can measure:

• Time back, immediately. Repetitive checks move to code; humans do higher-value work.

• Faster feedback. Answers in hours, not days, so decisions don’t stall.

• Fewer incidents. Coverage stabilises the critical flows; late surprises drop.

• Lower cost of change. Reuse beats rebuild; parallelism shortens cycles.

• No lock-in. You own the artefacts so no ongoing license fees.

• Auditable by default. Every result traces to a change, a story and a requirement.

Benefits your teams will notice:

• Less manual grind, clearer results and fewer flaky tests (we bake in stabilisation utilities, retriable steps and a quarantine for flaky checks).

• A pragmatic mix of BDD where it clarifies behaviour, and straight code where it’s faster.

• Test data on tap and environments that don’t fight you.

A real customer story: up to 40% time saved per test

The context:
A UK private bank was drowning in repeat checks on Dynamics 365 CRM. Releases dragged; confidence was fragile.

What we did:
We deployed our experts, augmented by our Automation Enabler, and targeted the highest-value journeys first (API-led, with a handful of critical UI paths), seeded stable test data, and piped results into their Azure DevOps boards and pipelines.

What changed:

• They saw up to 40% time saved per test, faster, more predictable releases

• Significant cumulative savings, with some tests execute 3-4 times a week

• Freed up manual test capacity, allowing internal teams to focus on higher value work 

Two more case study succeses

High-volume UAT
By automating the repeatable checks and the evidence trail, we removed manual drudge and gave the business rapid, trustworthy proof. The outcome was roughly 600 business days saved per year in UAT, with quicker release decisions and fewer late surprises.

Data migration at scale
A global law firm had to move ~170 million documents into a new cloud DMS. Early estimates put testing at five years. Thanks to our quality engineers, who were armed with our Automation Enabler, we completed testing in ~200 days, with comprehensive data validation and audit-ready artefacts.

How it slots into your world

We design for your constraints and requirements, not ours. Tests are version-controlled alongside the code and linked to user stories, with results surfaced in your existing dashboards. That keeps teams aligned and quality consistent as you scale.
